VIDEO: I’ve got to take my chance, says Daryl Murphy

Although the football influence stemmed from his late grandfather, Ireland striker Daryl Murphy always listens attentively when his dad, Peter, imparts some advice.

It was his father, after all, who alerted the Ipswich Town forward to John Aldridge’s 19-year old record he was about to match when bagging 27 league goals for Ipswich Town last season.

Whilst the Waterford man broke his duck for this term in stunning fashion on Saturday with a hat-trick against Rotherham United, he’s still waiting to get off the mark for his country.
